Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:20:56 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199724The stupid part is Feaster may offer more. DON’T DO IT. A rebuilding team needs 3 good prospects, not 1 great prospect. As it was mentioned by phillyphanatic77 before, with this draft as deep as it is, they could find 3 elite players out of this.

6 – Lindholm
22 – Morin
28 – Fucale

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:26:29 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199459nothing at any part of the draft is guaranteed, but what is more likely is that a player chosen in the top 3 can more easily turn into a franchise player than a guy drafted late in the first round. look at Detroit, while they had success back in the day with late picks for guys like zetterburg or datsyuk, can you name even 1 effective player not named Kronwall they have drafted late in the first round in the last 15 years that turned into an allstar (there isnt one). quite frankly players chosen in the backend of even the first round often end up as role players.

they would be fools to trade a pick like seth jones with his on and off ice pedigree when they are desperate for D, or even to take the 2 forwards available there who are head and shoulders above every other offensive player in thier draft class.

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:51:50 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199411NO. The Lightning will not give up the 3rd pick. I REPEAT. WE’RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP THE THIRD PICK. WHAT PART OF THIS DO YOU PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND?!

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:20:08 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-1992536 +22 + 28 is not a good offer. The fact that Calgary made an offer means that Colorado is willing to listen, so they are not out. And you are not getting the 2nd overall pick for Miller.

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 13:13:47 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199252i’m questioning why colorado didnt take the deal….seems too good to be true. i wouldve wanted it if i were a colorado fan. 3 players for the price of one, you have a better chance of hitting with 3 chances than putting all the eggs in one basket with the 1st pick. then again its not like there’s ever been a 1st overall bust in sports…..

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 04:22:48 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199130If they are offering that a month before the draft, they might offer more a week before the draft.
The Flames first rounder in 2015 (McDavid) rather than that 28th overall this year is a start.

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 04:12:31 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199118I wouldn’t call them stupid but anytime there is a discussion about trades they bring up Miller. And completely over-inflate his value. They do it all the time on Flyers pages, when we’re already trying to get rid of an aging, overpriced goalie. They wanna pawn him off on anyone that’ll listen.

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 03:42:21 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199088IMO the Flames should be happy the Avs didn’t take that deal… Calgary is a franchise with a relatively bare cupboard, and it could’ve been a mistake to take quality over quantity. This draft is supposed to compare to 03 so it’s possible the Flames could get a difference maker with either (or both) of those late picks. The Flyers got both Jeff Carter (11th) and Mike Richards (24th) in 03, and it was huge for the franchise. Seth Jones could be a star or he could be Erik Johnson. And the Flames could get an elite talent at #6. I understand the strategy but the Flames would probably be better served taking 3 quality players over one potential star. Who knows, maybe they could get a forward, defender, and goalie (Fucale?), and address all three levels.

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 03:09:52 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199065The Flames trying to give 3 first rounders for the first overall tells me that they haven’t changed a bit. I’m not the biggest draft fan, because its a total crap shoot and guys are so hyped, but a rebuilding team should stockpile picks. Especially those in the first round.

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:31:50 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2268659#comment-199051Colorado is out Sabres should go after Florida for the 2nd overall for miller and change in order to get MacKinnon or Jones. Or if that is not possible at least trade up for the 3rd and get Drouin.
